Chapter 121 Community of Interests
Meng Lianyi understood.
The shopkeeper should mean that it is not easy for him to deal with Li Chengjiang, and if he can reconcile, it is the best to reconcile.
Thinking of this, Meng Lianyi chuckled and shook his head: "The Li family has put so much effort into getting my down jacket and the new loom drawings, and now that they have sent someone to smash the store, it seems that they also want the Bai family to tear their faces, and now even if they want to whitewash the peace, I'm afraid it's impossible." ”
Hearing Meng Lianyi's analysis, the steward's face was also a little unsightly.
Frowning slightly, he asked Meng Lianyi with some concern: "Dongjia, if this is the case, then how should this matter be resolved." ”
When Meng Lianyi heard this, he thought for a while, and then said directly: "I haven't thought of a good way to deal with this matter for the time being, but since the Li family wants things, it is impossible to just do so much, there should be other means in the future, we just have to wait, and when the time comes, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, so don't be afraid of them." ”
When the shopkeeper heard Meng Lianyi say this, he knew that she had an idea.
So he nodded and agreed.
"Then this store, should we continue to open it or what should we do?" The shopkeeper looked at the mess inside and asked.
Meng Lianyi chuckled lightly and asked the shopkeeper, "How much stock do we have in the warehouse?" ”
The shopkeeper thought for a while and said to Meng Lianyi: "Now that the spring clothes have been new, there are a total of 3,560 winter clothes that have not been sold out before. ”
"In addition, there are more than 500 horses of various silks, more than 1,000 horses of chintz, and more than 3,000 horses of ordinary fabrics."
The shopkeeper looked at the ledger and told Meng Lianyi.
Numbers are zeros and rounders.
Meng Lianyi nodded.
"It looks like there's not much stock."
The shopkeeper nodded: "They destroyed some of the cloth before, and the fabric that has been cut has no way to sell, and I don't know what to do with it." ”
The shopkeeper sighed as he spoke, his eyes full of distress.
Meng Lianyi thought for a while and continued to ask: "By the way, you said before that you have already reported to the official, what did the yamen say, do you have an explanation for us?" ”
Hearing Meng Lianyi ask, the shopkeeper shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, although I have already reported to the official, but the people in the yamen did not send anyone to come over to take a look, and after learning that we are from the Bai family, they forcibly suppressed the matter, and the county order did not open a court to try the case." ”
"That's right." Meng Lianyi sneered.
is really Li Chengjiang's good brother-in-law.
"Boss, what do you think we should do about this?" The shopkeeper turned his head and asked Meng Lianyi cautiously.
Meng Lianyi shook his head when he heard this: "It's okay, since the county order doesn't matter, it's okay, but our shop still has to continue to open." ”
The shopkeeper said with some concern: "It's just that when those gangsters came over before, the people saw it, and they were afraid that they would be afraid of getting into trouble and would not want to come to our shop to buy things again." ”
After all, there are many cloth merchants outside these days, and there is no need for the people to come to them to buy clothes.
Meng Lianyi frowned, and asked: "How did you set the price of ready-to-wear and fabrics in Fan County, is it from Qingshui County, or is it still the same price as before." ”
Hearing Meng Lianyi ask about this, the shopkeeper hurriedly spoke:
"Back to the east, Fan County and Qingshui County are different, there are many cloth merchants in Fan County, and because of the existence of the Chamber of Commerce, so everyone is in a mutually restrictive relationship, if there is a store to reduce the price too low, the rest of the stores will jointly ask for the price to be restored, if not, the ...... I'm afraid it won't be long before I open a store here. ”
"So you're still at the same price as before?" Meng Lianyi raised his eyebrows and spoke.
The shopkeeper sighed and nodded.
Meng Lianyi was silent for a long time and did not speak.
Seeing her like this, the steward also lay down and reminded worriedly: "Dongjia, what Lao Zhang said is right, Fan County is indeed different from Qingshui County, where many businessmen restrain each other, so there is no way to lower prices." ”
Meng Lianyi chuckled, stood up suddenly, and commanded the shopkeeper: "Okay, I probably have a number in my heart." ”
"Then this store ......," the shopkeeper stopped talking.
Meng Lianyi said decisively: "Open, not only to open, but also to open with great fanfare." ”
"Huh?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Meng Lianyi meant.
Seeing this, Meng Lianyi began with a smile: "We not only want to open, but also sell cloth and ready-to-wear according to the price of Qingshui County." ”
The prices of fabrics and garments in Qingshui County are nearly three or four percent lower than the original price.
The people were not rich in the first place, and if they knew that it was possible to buy cloth at such a cheap price now, there would be many people who would be willing to come.
In this way, even if Li Chengjiang sends someone over to find trouble again, the shop will not be as isolated as before.
People only think of resisting when their own interests are harmed.
And the same is true for ordinary people.
If they knew that they could buy good fabrics at a price of three or four percent cheaper, then they would naturally not be willing to let them buy expensive fabrics again.
When the time comes, if those gangsters come to look for trouble again, those people are probably the first to disagree.
"This is a good idea, in the past, everyone's fabric prices were the same, so it didn't matter where people went to buy it, but now if our fabrics are so cheap, people will naturally come to our shop to buy them." The young man's eyes were shining, and he couldn't wait to speak.
He had seen some people fighting with them for a few cents, and now if he knew that his own things were so cheap, he would be willing to let go of this opportunity.
Immediately, he felt that the new owner's solution in front of him was feasible.
It's just that the shopkeeper heard this, but he still frowned:
"Yes...... But I'm afraid that the people of the Chamber of Commerce will not see us sell fabrics at such a low price, and if they unite to resist us, then our shop will close soon after. ”
Meng Lianyi didn't think so: "It's okay, I have a way to get them not to stop it." ”
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not so easy, you also said that this time it was the Li family who attacked us, and the current Chamber of Commerce is headed by Master Li, so even if the cloth merchants in the city want to give Master Li a face, they will not let us behave like this." ”
Meng Lianyi shook his head indifferently: "This is wrong, the reason why those people in the Chamber of Commerce are willing to listen to Master Li is not because he is the Li family, but because if they support Master Li, they can get more benefits, then if I can also let them get more benefits, the people they support can also become me." ”
